The snake and bird also illustrate a larger allegory.

Nations that do not fear and love God are destroyed by those who hate Him. Europe has grown weaker since the fragmenting of The Church by those greedy for political and economic power. Europe is, in fact, on its death bed. Canada is not far behind, and the United States is almost irreparably weakened. The formerly Christian nations, like the bird above, do not see, and do not want to see, and are unable to fight against the destroyer who is striking hard at them.
